[the audio is a bit static-filled. it's picking up pieces of the destruction going on. Hades, though. Hades is laughing. He's almost in hysterics. And... is... that the sound of... someone eating popcorn? No it can't be...]

This is a GEM! Beautiful craftsmanship, nicely executed, the screaming of, well, everyone - is always a nice touch. I wish I could take the credit for it, really, I do. But now, that's simply poor sportsmanship and all, and y'know, I'm a nice guy. So hey, I'd love to know the architect to this whole shebang, get myself an autograph.

Anybody?

Anyone out there?

[pause, then more laughter]

Oh, that's right!

[another pause]

You're all busy running for your lives.

[come on, Hades. COMPOSURE.]

It's all about playing your cards right.

[Except Hades actually is really experienced at sucking up. Maleficent, anyone?]

[oh yes, permavoice]

[necrofonic]

I'm sure you're used to that, given people always seem to play a better hand than you.

[annnd he cools off] Geez Louise, if you wanted more fireworks, I can give you more fireworks!

[necrofonic]

Whatever it takes to help your betters? How generous.

[lordofthedead]

Hasn't anyone ever mentioned the phrase "be careful what you wish for" to you?

[The phrase in question is said with a very low, very dark tone of voice.]

[necrofonic]

Not enough, it seems. I'm willing to take risks to get some information about you, however. The fact that you can be easily goaded into action is particularly interesting.
